Solid-Liquid Extraction Unit

Solid-Liquid Extraction Unit

The Solid-Liquid Extraction Unit is a specialized glass system for extracting soluble compounds from solid matrices using a liquid solvent. Designed for semi-batch operation, this unit allows controlled percolation of solvent through solid material in a porous container or glass fiber bag, ensuring efficient solute extraction and minimal solvent loss.

Key Highlights

•  High-efficiency solid-liquid extraction
•  Semi-batch operation with controlled solvent percolation
•  Borosilicate glass construction for chemical resistance
•  Supports solvent reuse and recovery
•  Optional top/bottom solvent feed lines
•  Suitable for laboratory, pilot, and small-scale production
